Manchester City’s blockbuster clash against Chelsea now a sell-out | OneFootball

This weekend’s Barclays Women’s Super League fixture between Manchester City and Chelsea has been declared a sell-out.

The two sides meet at The Academy Stadium on Sunday afternoon to contest one of the biggest fixtures on the footballing calendar.

Tickets have been snapped up by fans of both clubs in recent weeks and Manchester City have today informed FAWSL Full-Time that the game is now sold out.

After exiting the Vitality Women’s FA Cup following a 2-1 extra-time defeat to Aston Villa last weekend, Manchester City must record a favourable result against Chelsea on Sunday to keep their season alive. The Cityzens trail the Barclays Women’s Super League leaders by two points while the South West Londoners hold a game-in-hand on Gareth Taylor’s side. Manchester City do have the benefit of a free week to prepare for their latest fixture whilst their opponents contest a midweek UEFA Women’s Champions League quarter-final, first leg tie in Lyon.

The Chelsea fixture forms part of a crucial double-header in Manchester City’s season with The Cityzens set to travel to the LV Bet Stadium to face another title rival in the form of Arsenal on Sunday 2 April.

The Barclays Women’s Super League fixture between Manchester City and Chelsea is scheduled to kick-off at 12.40pm on Sunday afternoon.
